About 1730 the clockmaker Franz Josef Ketterer was successful to imitate the natural cuckoo-call through two different air-bellows. The first cuckoo-clocks have been equipped with motives of hunting, birds and leaves.

In long winter months the clocks have been produced with fantasy and craftsman-skill in the Black Forest farming-houses and have been sold and exchanged from the world famous clock peddlers, who walked through whole Europe and even to Russia and the USA.
